On Internet, all the websites sit on computers that are called servers. Sounds too geeky? Well, let’s take an example. It is a software that resolves domain names to the actual IP address. What is DNS?ĭNS stands for Domain Name Server. Let’s understand what DNS cache is and how to flush it. Sometimes we need to flush or clear the DNS cache on local computer or on a proxy server. DNS and caching of DNS play a significant role in determining how fast your net connection practically works. But for a visitor also, it is good if something could be done to load the requested websites at a greater speed.
For a webmaster, I do not need to speak much about the importance of fast loading websites because it is all very well know. DNS caching is an important mechanism for increasing speed of website loading in a browser.
